Indonesia’s economy was expected to grow by 5.0% in 2023 as domestic demand took over from commodity exports as the driver of growth. This being said the economy undershot market expectations and grew at the slowest pace in two years in Q3 on cooling domestic demand: public spending swung into contraction and private consumption growth cooled, outweighing a stronger expansion in fixed investment.
The effects have been visible on the consumer demand and in our industry. Indeed, the new light vehicles market braked the recovery in place, losing momentum after 3 years of growth.
